A recent report from RSN Member, Healthwatch England has highlighted the growing crisis in community pharmacies across England, which disproportionately affects rural areas
Age UK has recently published a crucial report revealing that over 2 million older people in England now have unmet needs for social care. This alarming statistic underscores the pressing issue of inadequate support for many in our aging population, especially in rural areas, where access to necessary services is often limited.
In the past week, a number of government reports and speeches shed light on the challenges facing health and social care in England. While these documents provide valuable insights and suggest significant reforms, specific references to rural healthcare are notably absent. However, the strategies outlined could still have considerable implications for rural communities.
The proposed changes to the Winter Fuel Allowance (WFA), recently announced by the Chancellor, have sparked widespread concern, particularly among organisations dedicated to supporting older adults

England’s largest councils are urging the government to delay the introduction of the cap on adult social care costs, warning that the reforms are impossible to implement by October 2025 due to a staggering £30 billion funding shortfall.
The Rural Services Network (RSN) is pleased to share that we held two highly successful BT Digital Switchover information sessions last week. These exclusive RSN membership events engaged over 260 delegates, including representatives from town, district, and county councils across rural areas in England, as well as our partner organisations.
The Rural Services Network is pleased to highlight a groundbreaking development in the healthcare landscape of Humber and North Yorkshire. The local NHS has announced the launch of a Centre of Excellence for Frailty, a dedicated initiative aimed at revolutionising the health and care services for older residents across the region.
Community Catalysts, led by Pip Cannons and Helen Allen, are revolutionising health and social care in hard-to-reach areas through community micro-enterprises
A recent report by Age UK, It’s a Struggle to be Seen, sheds light on the difficulties faced by those aged over 50 in accessing health and social care services. The findings resonate strongly with the experiences of rural residents, who face additional challenges due to their geographic location
